Where'd the news of a builder drop come from?

>Our next round is set to land in mid-May and should make some of you builders out there smile.

I'm out on all future glyos waves until we see a significant return to vinyl. At least 1 vehicle- a rig, runner, use the banimon tank, whatever- and 1 monster- armodoc, giant cray, zullbeast, galaxor, whatever- should be standard stuff with pretty much every single drop. Then once or twice a year give us some fuck huge all vinyl block base drop. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. Please put that in the email.

>>6293325
>banimon tank

Can it even fit an Onell figure? If it can, that's a crossover I'd absolutely love to see.

>>6293380
inside sitting, yes

Just got my Glyaxia Syclodoc! He's a lot bigger than I thought, and incredibly fun to play around with. Does anybody know an easy way to remove the head? It seems incredibly difficult, I don't want to damage the figure.

>>6295540
Heat it up with a hairdryer. They should pop off normally. Sometimes they get a little tight

It's probably just like a couple new things like glyarmors in old colors like the yellow and blue.

Maybe an overpriced pizza armor thrown in for good measure.

If we get Glyaxia Standard/Reverse Glyarmor sets i'll be so happy. Really hoping that colorway will return soon.

>>6297501
Second.

>>6297501
I am not for this. Glyaxia was always a horribly garish color scheme to me. I know I'm probably in the minority though, a lot of folks seem to love it.

>>6297993
Agreed. Give me ZED or SCA or something not so garish.

I actually thought Sonesidar was dope though. They scratch my nostalgia itch in just the right way, and I INSTANTLY get Fisher Price vibes from them. They're probably my favorite un-panel lined figures of all time.

Glyaxia though...Glyaxia does nothing for me.

>>6298264
I love Glyaxia, but I can see what you mean, especially referring to Sonesidar. It'd be nice if Glyaxia had an accent color or more pastel/muted colors. The more I look at Sonesidar, the more I want to get a few. I'm not too partial to DSGs, but the green visors in combination with the green on the torso really makes the rest pop. I'd love to see a DSG made from just the white Sonesidar parts.

Original few gylaxia figures are goat, the massive wave with no detail lines is perhaps the ugliest group of figures in glyos history

>>6299293
Longest lasting wave in store history besides neo gatekeeper that still has magenta parts in the store.

Actually, I just checked the store, seems like the Neo Gatekeeper parts are FINALLY gone. Also some surprising news, Granthan Corps LSA is also finally sold out! I thought this candy corn motherfucker would stick around forever.

...hmm, come to think of it, maybe I should have bought one and slapped a white head on it to make a true candy corn Traveler. That might have been a neat thing to display around halloween.

>>6299413
Neo Gatekeeper magenta swing joints are still in the shop and I have a box full of those candy corn fuckers...sheesh!

IIRC, the Neo Gatekeeper drop was from around September of 2013 and the candy corns dropped in about June of 2014. I probably have more of those crappy Neo Glyaxia and Neo Gatekeeper axis joints than any other color! They just keep circulating in the Glyos world and they were in the store forever.

>>6299723
Candycorns would probably have sold better if the head didn't clash so much with the body. I'd love to see a Scar Pheyden or LSA head in that tan or orange.

Mushis are played out at this point - Marty needs to invest in some new molds instead of just releasing a couple or four new colors every month.

Sooooo played.

>>6300228
I just don't see how any of the sister glyos lines can go into business planning on just making a single figure over and over again forever. Yeah, I know, it's expensive as shit to make toys. But if I were them I'd be working together under a single company or two to make varied waves of various designs and characters. I didn't start buying glyos until around 2011 when drops consisted of a good variety of figs- I had come across them before but was mystified why someone would want to buy Pheyden in 8 different colors and.. nothing else because there was nothing else. I feel the same way now about all the single figure companies out there. I like a good deal of what comes out, but unless I know in advance that colors are matching up I never take the plunge on random single guy mold release number 37.

>>6300127
Funny, looking back on those ZED redux figures that's really the best glyos ever got- one of the few figures with full paint apps in a great colorway with parts swapped and had those nifty multi part heads and various belts. I love ZED so I knew at the time they were special, but I never would have imagined that 3 years later we'd never have seen another figure like them again.

>>6300812
depends of flexibility.

callgrim, bio monster, and kabuto mushi have a few different key looks that really work. over time you either get a bit burnt out or never stop collecting only those. marty sculpted the kabuto and bio mass so they work well together. callgrim was jesse's baby since the rechlen and aves era. heavily promoted on the main blog. jesse moved on to tshirts i heard so no new figures

outlander had only a few looks with that body. nick invested in making new heads which was a great move, but he's not the promotion engine that marty is for mushis. too many outlanders backed up and killed his flow.

roboforce was sculpted by matt to have 4(?) figure builds for the robo line in the first maxx. matt also designed it for his own needs he was planning for the main glyos line. despite how some feel about the owner its a solid toy for the price. matt really shows off the potential each time the gendrones come back. the zeroid also looks like hidden potential in combination with the maxx figure.

the wrestlers were gimmicky. banimon don't really fit with much else. osm/power lords were overpriced and too many convention exclusives with 4h. 4h killed those lines. osm brought back by gary has been better paced and smarter marketing. too bad power lords is tanked.

you either love or hate the pizza knights

there used to be a flow to the released. outlander would be the new colors or maybe marty. then glyos. sometimes callgrim or roboforce. with the sister companies slowling down besides marty being every other month, we lost the chance to see everything in a single color or two each couple of months

matt did neo nonilla last year as a fig and axis, then again this year as a fig, than marty as a fig, than the bio monster fig. great but who can find axis from a year ago easily to go with the other pieces? no one wants to really buy a fig from marty and two from the bio mass to make one build because thats like 25 and 43.

>>6301127
another 15, 20 if you wanted to use the quall thing from matt shipped. i cant remember how much it was with the glyarmor. marty's build used it last week

>>6301127
>>6301129
not hatin the build. just adds up if you wanted to make it based on whats available. if things were better syncd you could build whatever in the same colors

Weird, the gatekeeper joints don't show up in the standard shop or buildstation categories, you have to click on "all" to see them.

>>6299756
But anon, it DID come with an alternate head. A scarf, too.

>>6300814
I guess on a technical level, that second ZED drop was the best we've ever gotten. It was Glyos literally pulling out all the stops to make some really impressive figures. I passed on em though. Even though I love ZED, they just looked way too busy for my tastes. Too many paint apps, and panel lines on the Dark Traveler mold makes it look crazy due to how many different panels and segments it has. I want the simplicity of oldschool ZED, so I'm gonna continue hunting for that shit.

>>6301127
I still don't have a Zeroid cause they aren't making them in colors I can use (well, metallic black, but I missed that drop). But it looks kind of amazing really when combined with a RF figure. And I also think Roboforce is the best thing going on in Glyos right now. It's still fairly new and fun to build with, and the sculpt is top notch.

>>6301364
Shit. That actually looks really good.

Also, I've been thinking about this- Assuming that Travelers are wearing some sort of bodysuit/armor, why are their heads the same color as the suit? It can't be any kind of skintight mask, as Scar Pheyden's scar is visible and eyes are almost always visible. Are they just wearing armor the same color as their skin?

>>6300814
Yeah, those deluxe ZEDs and Standard LSA drops were supposed to be the first of more alternating small drops with detail lines, etc.

That's my fav Glyos stuff ever and was definitely a sweet spot. I think Matt only made candy corn dude to get the yellow LSA head to put on standard green body, so fucking candy corn sat in the store forever and killed any chances of these "deluxe" drops continuing.

>>6301384
>Are they just wearing armor the same color as their skin?

>http://onelldesign.blogspot.com/2007/10/alternate-pheydens.html
>Owing to his ability to travel through the Edge of Space and phase throughout time, Pheyden has actually split into many versions of himself. He exists simultaneously in many different realities and sometimes even works with these alternate versions of himself if the need should arise. Each Pheyden has his own personality, but still follows the code of keeping infinity in order.

conveniently they wear a flexion suit that matches their skintone most of the time

Damn, what a magnificent squad. Custom 'Vors with resin heads painted up in ZED/ZRU colors, even. I also really dig your little...cray dog thing there, and the translucent ZRU mimic DSG is fucking sweet. This pic just makes me happy overall.

I was going through the archive today and reminiscing about good times. When I first got into Glyos (Neo Voss drop), it was supremely exciting. We were getting incredible looking waves one after the other, I was throwing down $100+ every single drop, and we were getting a good assortment of molds every time too. I really, really miss those days. I hope the upcoming "builder's drop" returns us to those glory days.

So like two weeks out what colors are we thinkin? Recent colorway from TGB or something new for the Builder Drop?

Same, the recent TGB colorways have been kind of awful IMO. I hope Matt pulls out something awesome. I'd be really happy with a new realtype squad, or some nice swirly metallics with panel lining.

Actually, what I've wanted for a while now is a return to OG Silver with panel lines. It was such a cool color, and neither metallic black nor ultra silver has quite appeased my taste (though I did end up buying lots of both to try to fill the void in my soul). I got into Glyos after the silver era was over, and I'm pretty bummed about it.

Quoted for truth. OG silver with panel lines is really the ultimate glyos colorway. It goes with everything and looks great by itself. Full panel lines are obviously a thing of the past, but I wonder if we could get a drop of partial panel lines like how Redlaw Phanost had- enough to break things up but not too much to be cost prohibitive

Want some new ZED

>>6306439
>>6307531
>>6307587
>>6307542

So I have like 3 desert tan Robo Forces and three of the Zeroids and is it just me or is some of the plastic cast funny? It's noticeable on the shoulders, where part is a very mustard yellow and other parts (around the square panel lines) are a light tan. I also notice it on the middle of some of the body pieces. Like the color didn't make it all the way or something. All the Bronze stuff was like that too.

>>6308643
that's normal especially the swirl in the metallic colors

>>6308643
Yeah, the larger the pieces the more of this you will see. It's due to the way plastic fills the molds.

>>6308632
I'd love a return to ZED but am not really excited for it without detail lines. I picked up a bunch of Nistuff's line free ZED/ZRU guys and they just don't cut it.

I guess I'd be vaguely curious to see a wave like the most recent one (already close to ZED/ZRU/EMD Greys and orange) done up in ZRU colors with a dark grey base plastic and tons of painted light grey and some teal because I do really love how the commandos turned out.

But overall ZED is one of the colorways that succeeds because of how the lines pop, right up with the Skull Division releases. ZED without detail lines will look as naked as Galaxia without detail lines did.

I dunno all the monochrome freebie Crayboths I get never seem to be in colors that get used.

Is there any rhyme or reason to them?

Stowaway Crayboths are typically for testing color runs

Does anyone know what the Exile Epaxior Noboto is an homage to? Pretty sure it's one, at least.

>>6310570

>>6309264
Has anyone tried panel lining their figures themselves? If so, how close does it look to official panel lines, and what kind of ink/paint did you use?

>>6309464
God damn I dislike that blue already. I'm gonna be so sad if it's a Glyaxia drop, I just do not like that colorway at all. I'm even sad for the Glyaxia fans cause that blue is quite different from the previous run, so they're going to look pretty mismatched.

>>6310570
It's not quite right, but the colors of this guy always made me think of a Skrull.

It'd be easier just to do a panel wash me thinks, instead if lining.

Possibly. Exile Sirian is a Visitor from the old tv show V. Deniken is named after Erich von Daniken

>>6311052
I don't see why it would be either of those things, unless Glyos plastic somehow presents some unique challenge. When I panel line Gunpla, I just go messy with it and then clean it up the excess with a q-tip. And it's pretty quick too. I expected lining Glyos to go much the same way.

Not too into Glyos, but been tempted a few times. A few threads back, the OP was some pretty neat looking modular spaceship/tank or something like that. Was it the 'heavy armored rig' in the picture, or was it something else?

Yeah, that was the rig alright. That mold hasn't been run in ages, and there's no sign of it coming back anytime soon unfortunately. You might wanna stay tuned for the next drop though, it's reportedly a "builder's drop." That probably doesn't mean the rig is returning, but hey, who knows, miracles can happen.

I was a fool. I always skipped on vinyl because it was pricey and told myself I'd try it later. Now it's rarely ever run anymore.

>>6311652
if it is glyaxia then there might be a chance of vinyl

Assuming the next drop is Glyaxia, which figures are even left to produce in that colorway, assuming no reruns? All I can think of are Quallerran, standalone DSG, maybe Crayboths with real paint appls this time instead of one fucking blog

>>6311863
Christ, I fucked up there. Anyways, typos aside, I'm honestly pretty upset that the Glyaxia Crayboths are just solid with no paintapps. They really don't fit with the rest of the colorway, it'd be nice if the limbs were at least swapped to give some color separation.

>>6312354
>Glyaxia Gobon

Please Matt. I never knew just how much I needed this in my life.

Has anyone else noticed that there appear to be two different types of connector pegs? All of my opaque parts have a very distinct ring around the peg, while the translucent parts have a more rounded area around the peg. I'm not sure if this affects building in any way, but I find it interesting nonetheless.

>>6312634
could be mold inconsistency or clear based parts don't get as much plastic somehow

>>6312634
Certain molds have smaller pegs and ports so when you start to build you can have some issues with fits being very tight and then somewhat loose. There used to be a comprehensive list on October toys of perfect compatibility. For example a switch pin from a hubset is smaller than the peg on a glyan thigh that connects to it's pelvis waist piece, so if you swap out the leg for a hubset piece held in by a switch pin the connection will be a little loose.

>>6311935
Then swap the limbs dipshit...it's Glyos after all!

>>6314597
I think he means he wants colorswapped biceps and thighs via paint, as Crays are normally done....not entirely different colored arms and legs.

>>6314597
>tfw based on the style of the post I can tell who this probably is

Perhaps Glyos was a mistake.

Any1 order the new knights?

>>6314597

>>6315002 has it right. I want actual paint applications on the body and arms, not just solid-colored plastic.

first preview any day now?

Doubt it, the drop will probably be pushed back a week for some reason or another and we'll see our first photo 5-6 days before the actual drop, then nothing for 4 days, then 5 pics in the 36 hours leading up to the drop time.

It was this picture, showing off the vinyl Block and integrating it with the Rig and conversion sets(some gun pieces).

It's from the EMD drop which, looking back was probably the single greatest drop in all of glyos history.

It really had it all:

>Vinyl in one colorway to make ships and small structures
>PVC figures in orange and black to act as Commander, pilot, and engineer figures for said vehicles
>PVC robots gone rogue in metallic purple for bad guys

Sure, ZED is a builders dream because it's a cool colorway and it ran every mold in every color, but for me the real MVP is the EMD drop for being a complete feeling toyline full of characters. I think the only other drop that followed this kind of setup was the Rig Crew 2 drop, which lacked detail lines but is still one of the strongest drops since paint was simplified.

The Quallerran last so long i almost order one cause you start to feel bad

>>6321148
It's their own fault with the overkill on that mold. I'm a big supporter of special builds and combo packs and think that the releases in this drop are, in theory, great. But when you've had 3-4 of them in almost every drop for the past year+ many of them paired with glyarmor there's just no way I'm buying another one for a long, long time. It's too bad because the noboto mold is easily one of the best single figures in production, but they beat him into the ground with this new head and I don't even think it's a good new head.

The Quallerran head is quite unattractive, I'm not a fan. In fact, I'm not a big Noboto fan in general. BUT, this build almost made me pull the trigger. I do like bugs, and this is a nice bug build. I might snatch this up if it's still in stock at drop time.

Curious. Potentially liking some yellow/grey combos, but if the figures are super plain, pass.

God I'd kill for super plain at this point...

Please standards and reverses with minimal paint apps.

>>6324448
No way are we getting color swaps, that's a thing of the past. We'll see solid color figures with no detail lines and a few pics showing how you can make different colorways if you mix and match. Plain solid colors with no paint gives us the giant galaxia drop, which looks like complete shit. Funny enough we have a shit looking blue and a slightly better looking yellow this time around too.

I'd love to be wrong but super plain figures look awful unless the colors are more muted and with decent accent color, like the Esedeth tan/grey/bright orange.. or the neo metran blue from a couple of years ago.

>>6324692
>bright orange

The bright orange nearly ruined the tan scheme. We got nice neutral blacks and greys as the primary highlight colors. Thank god that shit was kept to like 2-3 parts on the Robo Force/Zeroid.

I disagree, stuff like the orange patch on the glyan shoulder is part of what made that wave really pop and look special. The only figure that might have gone overboard on the orange was the glyarmor, and we got a plain glyarmor with the glyan so you could swap it out if you desired.

I'm sick of black as the go to accent color, there was a nearly 3 year stretch of plain colors with barely any paint with black as a minimal accent color. If you're looking for glyos like that it happened, it's out there, go track it down. I hope that this release is more imaginative than a few blank colors because we literally have already gotten this, several times. I have multiple shades of blue, yellow, grey, and even a bit of red although this color is underpresented, all with a tiny bit of black as an accent color already. We don't need more of it.

>>6324448
this please

Is it normal for the official database to go this long without updating? It's been nearly 2 drops since Hyper Henshin and it's nowhere to be seen.

>>6324806

This....well, it works, and it would be super cool, but a homage wave doesn't really fit too well with Matt saying it was a "builder's wave." Cause like...build waves typically don't have too many colors on a single figure, and utilize relatively simple color schemes. It would be a waste of an homage in fact to do a Gundam builder's wave. Cause if we get that I want the whole 9 yards, with tons of paint apps to make the Gundam reference clear.

I dunno. I guess we've gotta just wait and see what happens.

I've just realized- Could this be a Lego Classic Space homage? The gray fits more than white. However, I'm still leaning more towards the Gundam homage, especially with the drop tagline. Guess we'll know when teaser images come out.

Never ordered from Nemo's Factory and bought an A/V robot but realized he hasn't put up any sort of update in over a year. It's been a week and no update on the order, so I was wondering if I should just put a request in for a refund? Like is he still running the store or is it just open for no reason?

I think it'll be gray with blue paintapps, and yellow for the cockpit.

Also, looks like the return of the wheels! I'm guessing there'll be a Space Buggy contained build. This was a great opportunity for Robo Force to return, but apparently this drop won't have any crossovers..

Hmm. Neat, but I don't actually have much nostalgia for Classic Space to be honest. It was before my time, and I always thought stuff like M-Tron was way cooler. Might be a light drop for me. I'm definitely picking up some wheels though, I've been looking to complete a Dome Runner build for a while.

Agreed, classic space is ass in the colors department, especially for where glyos is concerned. Shame because everything else- build wave, rigs and vinyl, DSGs are all right up my alley. But the prospect of some plain blue and plain red figures does nothing for me.

>>6328695
>But the prospect of some plain blue and plain red figures does nothing for me.
Which is what I want more than anything. I have some side projects I keep putting off because every Glyan has too much paint lately. It scratches too easily and not good for a pocket traveler like the line was designed for.

Enjoy your drop faggots, because pic related is what you are buying but in blue.

>>6329212
Oh geez. The non-lined one is tolerable, i guess? But next to the properly lined one, it's trash. That's really disappointing.

I'm not one of the pessimistic 'where were you when glyos was kill' fucks, but that's a downgrade. I'd gladly pay a few extra bucks for even partial lining, just to break up the solid blobs of one color..

>>6311482
Listen guy I don't paint gunpla, I don't paint anything. I'm not a painter. I'm not an artist. I bought and loved glyos because I could buy a fuckton of guys and parts for $100 and make some badass shit with it, not because I wanted to go to Jo-Ann fabrics and buy some fucking art supplies and then spend 3 and a half weeks panel lining everything just to have it turn out like shit because I'm NOT A FUCKING ARTIST before I try to build or play with anything. It's great that you have a hobby and a talent that means this isn't a big deal for you, but I'd wager the vast majority of people are like me and not like you.

>>6329212

right side means that parts always "go together" and you don't have to worry about them having different colored panel lines.

also they are applied like a kid using a sharpie on a gundam.

>>6329224

This looks nice and clean, and the pearly metallic is a great spaceman color. Both are near for different reasons.

>>6329238
Different colored panel lines are a good thing because unique paint combos lend themselves well to new releases. Otherwise what is there to convince longtime buyers to buy the 8th shade of blue if we are buying naked plastic?

Besides, some of the most popular and striking colorways like original Gatekeeper with its bright pink lines and Apocalypse with it's crimson red lines look so good specifically because of this.

>>6329236
Even as a casual Gunpla builder, I can see your point. I'd love to pay 2 or 3 bucks to just have the lining done in a factory.

There's a big difference between a toy like Glyos and a kit like a Gunpla. If I panel line or modify a Glyos figure, I'll be unsatisfied with my own results because they're not perfectly consistent. Factory lining is consistent enough to look nice on everything. It's a bit thick in some areas, but that's perfectly acceptable.

>>6329239
I'm going to assume you meant to say "neat," I'll give you a pass because obviously you have some real shit eyesight if you think this looks okay, it must be a bitch to type correctly.

>>6329251
It was a typo that anyone could figure out in a few seconds, did it really warrant a reply pointing it out

>>6329255
No shit autismo, the point is I'm disagreeing with it looking neat. It's borderline acceptable because the toys themselves are cool, but the ZED DSG above it is fucking aces and the jizz DSG is dogshit by comparison.

>>6329256
I'm going to have to disagree. The Ivorinium DSG certainly looks a little bland without lining, but it's still now as awful as you're making it out to be. The issue is that it's one solid color- Figures without lining can still look good by having a good color scheme. Unlined ZED would still look great. Not as great as it would look with lines, but still great.

But dude even the point you're trying to make is shooting yourself in the foot. The point is that with panel lining any and every single fucking glyos release looked pretty goddamn cool.

A quick google search shows me a bunch of pics like this, where people made solid color figures. Now I can't find ANY pics of solid color figs once they stopped getting panel lined, because.. as you said.. they need a ton of work to get just the right color scheme and just the right amount of balance to achieve something that doesn't look like a total shit pile.

Looked some more and found a perfect example. This was actually from a drop I more or less really liked despite the lack of paint, but look at how dogshit the brown is by itself.

Shit, I'm retarded, that's actually a really good point.

Have we ever thought of doing something to voice our interest to Matt? It's been a good while since the lines went away. Maybe a petition or email to say that we'd like to see lining make a return. No real point to complaining about it constantly without doing anything. Matt would be more likely to even consider it if we had a solid number of visible individual people backing it.

...compared to these shit color glyans that still look badass.

>>6329277
I feel like every other glyos thread on toy gets this way, tons of people bring up valid points and good ideas and then a few people say "lets contact Matt" and then no one does. Supposedly he wants to hear from people in the official forum and on the site and not here, but besides the forum being dead as fuck I'm also afraid to post anything that isn't a pat on the back there, they're all so nice and supportive/make me feel like shit if I do.

>>6329288
Honestly, I get that. The forums are definitely a ghost town, and I don't feel like there's a nice way to suggest how Matt run his own toyline. Maybe a suggestion thread? Not really a 'fix your shit' thread, but an open discussion of things that could be done to improve Glyos without impacting production costs.

>>6329293
That sounds like a lot of work, I don't even know if I have an account there since they made the new site.

Anyway since it's easier to shitpost on toy, here's what I want:

>Return of vinyl, enough to build with!
>Return of detail lines!
>Return of mold variety!
>Return of lists and pics before drops! It's 48 hours before the next drop and I don't know shit about shit!
>Release the Delphi!
>Put out at least one new figure a year, not just an armor set or a new shittier head!
>Drops that include 2 factions and some vehicles!
>TheGodbeast should start a coalition of other glyos toys because he basically already does and release everything that's not Onell under one banner with their own drops! Having 10 different websites/businesses/etc releasing 1 figure each every 6 months is annoying and stupid! yay!

>>6329303
You're sort of missing the point. We need individual people to express their interest through the forum and blog, through individual accounts. Matt doesn't like to take our suggestions to heart because this board is entirely anonymous. One dude could probably simulate a thread this size with enough effort.

>>6329310
Results are in from facebook and detail lines are BTFO, I see me and maybe 2 other guys from this thread in it. Basically they are too expensive now and we can get fucked or paint them ourselves.

I wonder if the factory is just screwing over Matt? I know of a few instances where they have taken advantage of le dumb americans, and if you don't speak the language and aren't there overseeing everything on a day to day basis you get buttblasted.

Either way, sounds like panel lines are truly RIP no matter how good they looked.

>>6329277
see it posted here and there on the forums. like if someone shows off an older figure they bought

almost eveyone is on fb or instagram. two places matt wont go

>>6329387
I'm one of the guys from that thread, the one who started it actually- Looks like panel lines are gone for a while, especially since Marty basically said that it's still not worth the investment. Disappointing, but I can live with the lack of lining as long as the figures themselves look good. The Ankram Glyans look wonderful without lines, and I'm sure that there's still a ton of potential to make great new figures without lines. No point in staying pessimistic when Glyos has done this much for us.

>>6329395
Ankram is honestly my second favorite after ZED and it does indeed look fine with the lines. Which is a really another problem. I just really hate most of the colors that have run lately, largely due to all these obnoxious homages. That Ankram bone/off white is absolutely gorgeous and I would buy a whole other wave of it.

>>6329395
They did indeed look pretty good. At this point I'd say the best route forward would be new sculpts designed with the paint limitations in mind, perhaps sculpt lines with deeper cuts and some more details like the armorvor body to make up for the lack of painted details.

>>6329410
Skaterriun was a step in the right direction. It felt like a full and diverse team.

I'd also love to see more accessories included in drops, like the OSM weapons and Robo Force guns that were included in the Skaterriun drop. It'd be great to have more build/play options without having to cannibalize figures or buy duplicates of a figure just for an accessory.

>>6329420
Agreed, skaterriun was the best drop we've had in long time. Long fucking time. The glyans look badass built up and the purple guys were pretty awesome as well. Only misstep IMO were all the noboto builds, just because noboto needs to take a break from having 3-4 releases every drop.

>>6329428
I agree with you 100% on the Noboto/Quallerran oversaturation. Even as a huge fan of them, I think they're incredibly overdone and if it continues, the community will start to dislike the mold. The last thing I want is for Noboto to be retired, but it's getting stale at this point.

Imagine ankram and EMP with panel lines tho...
Skate was ruined by paint globs. Such a cool color scheme ruined by execution in my eyes.

A fully painted body part should be considered a Glyos sacrilege aside from maybe heads... and even then disappointing.

The fact that panel lines may be out for good is kind of Glyos' death rattle at least for me.

I went from dropping hundreds to maybe 1 or 2 of the simpler offerings.

Don't understand why it seems nearly everyone misses them but these homages and over paint is what is being given. Or why panel lines are too expensive but all these paint masks are doable.

I'm sure panel lining is harder but I'd even be happier if it was done in a sloppier wash type of way.

>>6329288
I emailed him directly a few threads back. He never replied. In the past I've gotten pretty prompt replies from him, so I'm not sure if my email got lost in the shuffle, or if he's just tired of people telling him how to run his toyline. I'm gonna assume the former, cause he's always been a really nice guy.

Also, I have a forum account, but yes, posting there does feel rather futile. It's a ghost town the majority of the time. I wish OctoberToys hadn't gone under, at least those forums were semi-active.

>>6329395
>Looks like panel lines are gone for a while, especially since Marty basically said that it's still not worth the investment.
>>6329545
>Or why panel lines are too expensive but all these paint masks are doable.

I think the important thing to communicate to Matt is that we are willing to pay more for panel lines. I know I am, and I've seen a handful of posts saying the same in previous threads. How would you guys feel about that? We definitely pay more per figure when there are more paint masks. What if Matt released figures that were fully lined, but cost $3-4 more per? Would you honestly buy into them?

Consider your replies carefully please, and really think about what you'd do realistically. If we create a SHF Master Asia situation where we convince Matt to do it and then nobody buys them, panel lines will TRULY be well fucked forever.

>>6329236
Chill friendo. You're really flying off the deep end here. Yes, I understand not everyone wants to do the work themselves, and yes, I understand it's not really feasible when you have a huge unlined squad. But you're still really blowing shit out of proportion here. All you need is a $3 felt tip marker and a few minutes per figure. It takes no "artist" skills either, even a chimp could run the marker through the lines easily and then wipe the excess marks away with a paper towel.

>>6329247
I would love to pay for it too instead of doing it myself. But I'm just saying, if it's off the table I'd rather try it myself than never get them again. Also, I disagree with your second statement. I don't WANT consistent lining. The slightly messy, runny panel lines at the very beginning of Glyos were hugely exciting to me. It made the figures look a little grungy and "real."

Example, look at Ranic Pheyden here. Look at how the lining bleeds out of the lines on his chest, giving it a dusty appearance. Look at how it drips out of the line on his foot and down onto his sole. Or the grungy look of his pouches, which have taken on the tone of the brown panel lines a bit. This is when I loved panel lining the most. The way they looked at the tail end, all crisp and clean (and always plain ol' black!!), was actually kind of boring to me.

>>6329663
That's actually closer to what I meant- The slightly messy lines are lovely. When I worry about my own lining being inconsistent, I'm talking about smudging it, staining the unpainted plastic, etcetera. This is just my personal autism, but I've never liked modifying my own toys. I love the custom Glyos community, but it's never something I'd try to do myself because I'm too much of a perfectionist.

>>6329652
I'd definitely be willing to pay the premium, but I know other people wouldn't, and so i think it'd be a great idea to run lined figures as a limited run or special occasion aside unlined ones. Give older collectors a reason to keep buying, while providing a cheaper alternative for budget builders.That could definitely be an issue when it comes to production logistics, but it may be worth it.

>>6329545
The paint on glyos figures is charged per brush stroke on the figure, so every single panel line shape adds cost. That's why panel lines is so much more vs all the masks. I think washes are the way to go, they shouldn't cost any more than masks and figures would look messy/gritty. A silver figure with a dark grey wash would be the fucking tits and likely cost no more than they do now.

>>6329649

>>6329652
>cost $3-4 more per? Would you honestly buy into them?
Na, I wouldn't. More towards the less paint in general crowd and taking the cost down a couple of bucks. Just give me back Standard and Reverse with limited paint. Don't need Glyninjas with 4 paint colours for forearms & boots.

>>6329790
Yeah, most of the paint apps are just plain nasty and don't have a good aesthetic sense about them. And have served to just jack up the price anyway. I have to assume the factory just plain doesn't fucking want to do detail line orders.

>>6329663
Nigger are you retarded or what? All we have is huge unlined squads now you dumb fuck. And if you can do up a figure in detail lines in a few minutes then please, post pics. No cheating though, I want to see the figure you finished with detail lines in under 5 minutes. If it doesn't look like complete shit I'll pay you the same as the chinks to detail line my entire collection.

The axis and swing joints will have no paint on them so any building and joint additions will look super bland and drab. The black visor is the worst possible color choice, I at least figured we might get yellow for the red and blue guys which would have been pretty cool. There was also a post on (still want to call it OTF) the official forum where someone wished for a trans yellow helmet screen with paint apps around it, that would have been badass. This is honestly so close to the gylaxia 2 releases (and the reyduran science DSG) that I feel no need to get these. They are an improvement, the chest tampo is cool for sure, but it's still weak sauce

Alright lads, there seems to be much consternation over panel lining, so I gave it a shot myself. It was quite quick, these two tests probably took about 15 seconds each. I lined with Gundam marker, then gave the raised bits a quick swab with a q-tip. I am a fan of the old-school messy panel lines, so yes, these aren't as clean as they could be. If you desire cleaner lines just swab better (I gave it a light pass so I could maintain a bit of bleed).

The brown lines don't look that good on camera here, but they look great in person and I will likely be using them much more than the black. Since the lines are rather recessed, I'm not too worried about the ink rubbing off either. I just gave both parts a vigorous rub with my thumb and it came away clean. So, there it is I guess. If you want lines back and are willing to put in a bit of elbow grease, it seems to work beautifully.

>>6331310
>a trans yellow helmet screen with paint apps around it
That would be cool as FUCK. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure it's not possible due to how the parts are laid out on the mold. I mean, unless you want the entire hub set in trans yellow. And that's certainly not what I'd want, I'd want an entirely solid colored DSG with just the translucent helmet screen. And sure, you could fake it by painting over all the trans yellow pieces, but what a waste of money, and it wouldn't be as durable as cast colors.

>>6331418
>Combo Suit turns into a Moon Buggy
Guessing $22 to 24 in the store

Would buy if I didn't have all the parts and wheel set already

Everything we've seen so far is so close to exact re-releases that I have no desire in any of it. I have a plain red DSG from 3 years ago, 6 of the parts having a little more paint on it don't do much for me. I have 2 or 3 shades of plain gray from the same year. I never got gylaxia 2 because it looked like complete shit, but these colors seem close enough and again a handful of pieces having masks does nothing for me. I have wheels.

This is the future of glyos to you dipshits that think no paint is better. How many times will you rebuy the same handful of colors with almost no changes?

I'm pretty new to glyos. What you you guys think I should pick up out of this drop? Like how many axis/swing/hubs do you think is good for a beginner?

>>6331495
at least 2 of every accessory if all four -- hub, axis, swing, phase set -- get a run in the same color. that will complete many of the contained builds. you can find them under the contained build tag on onelldesign or use this list which will tell you what you need to make them

You see how much paint is on some things now? Who gives a shit, make it happen. If you want unpainted nonsense there's plenty of that too.

Also, Matt confirmed for huge troll who reads everything we say and laughs his ass off, the fucking day of the drop with no pics and his third update is a fucking picture of a 1st grade level art project with no figures in sight.

>>6331682
Ooh, nice. I'm glad we're seeing Travelers this drop, definitely picking this one up.

>>6331674

And either way it "confirms" nothing, you're really reaching bro. You're like those guys who find swapped toys in Target and then of course have to spout the tired old line, "okay, which one of you did this?"

Why there isn't a rig for nearly every single release I will never understand. I don't think this new one looks that great, the masks are a little awkward, but it's still a rig which is the single best item glyos has produced since it's inception. I hope that like the return of the hubset and the DSG these past few drops, the rig sticks around and isn't just another one off for the next year or two.

>>6332016
Conversion Kit confirmed

So I'm currently visiting family and will be here until the 27th. Should I ship this drop here you think? Or back home? Our mail being held at the PO, but if it would get here by like the 26th I'd rather ship it here. Thoughts?

>>6332076
Hard to say. Sometimes Matt ships by the weekend. Sometimes Matt ships a week after. There is no way to figure out when they will do it. Home is better

That noboto with the tampo'd axis shoulder is pretty cool.

>>6332122
Speaking of, anyone else taking bets on the next shelfwarmers? I'm thinking it'll be the Zardurac Plum axis joints. No figures that go well with them at the moment, an oddball color.. It's just like the Ashi Purple that are probably going to sit there for a few months

>>6332076
Ship it to where you are, it's always 2-3 day shipping and packages are more or less definitely going to be out by monday.

Get some black parts for the legs and feet and the noboto will make for a great star trek red shirt

In and out with no fuss. Just picked up a set of wheels and the secret figure. The rest is...solid, but not my cup of tea.

Anyone have any guesses as to what the secret figure could be homaging this time around?

"No Gobons or Buildman Gendrones in this round, but the four main accessory sets will be available in red and blue, with a partial selection in yellow. Wheels come in black.

The Gendrones will make their return as we cross into the second half of the year. They're just busy preparing for the appearance of something long since since destroyed..."

Huh. I was pretty hype for this drop but now I ha e all this stuff sitting my cart and I can't do it. Like I have all this stuff right? Just different colors. Even the rig isn't doing it for me. I want to want it, but... Meh

Wow rig sold out fast!!!! See, you hold back these favorites and look at the response.

$108

Wow,i haven't spent that much on a drop in a long time. I'll probably regret not getting more building stuff, but oh well.

-conversion kit
-each color figure

I spent a deal more than that. But that's because I'm a buildfag and I stocked up on multiples of every type of joint set

bleh when will I learn?

>>6332262
Only bought Commayder, but after seeing what he's likely an homage to I'm slightly regretting it. Oh well, still have a bit more to spend

I sat with my order in the store for 15 minutes in the cart because everything looks meh, then the rig sold out and I was relieved so I cancelled everything. Then it went back in stock so I ordered it, it goes out of stock again 3 minutes later and I regret buying. This is a clusterfuck of a drop. I already hate that the figures are plain rehashes of shit I bought years ago, and I was kind of hoping to see some actual builds on the blog of mixed colors like grey and yellow or mixing that trans yellow in to some classic looking space builds but meh. Too much to hope for. If you won't spend the time to show off your stuff to me I won't spend my money to buy it. Gone are the days where I spend $300 on a drop buying multiples of every color item.

>>6332316
I just want to see some pics of color combos before I drop hundreds on it. How does x match with y? Before we used to see this kind of shit ahead of time, hell you could literally ask in the comments before a drop to see some new pics with something mixed and matched and Matt would throw it up a few hours later.

Now we get about as many pics combined as a single post would have before.

I would love ice planet colors and will go all in on those if it happens.

>>6332413
Could it be something lore wise thought destroyed, not a mold we haven't seen? ..

... like
...

THE DELPHI?

All fucking complaints are out the window if we get a new mold fig and it's motherfucking delphi.

It's probably just a gobon or something though.

i thought the drop was quite refreshing. a somewhat old school drop if you will. my only issue is the build selling thats been happening as of late. i feel you should have the option to buy a figure without all the extras. some people might just want the noboto without the axis joints.

>>6332583

Yeah separate stuff would be better. Although why does the blue guy not come with his custom-painted hub set like the red and yellow astronauts? I don't get how Matt organizes these things sometimes.

>>6332586
My best guess is that he wanted to have an option to buy a single Glyan without the whole DSG kit. Though that raises questions as well, like why not do that for all of them, and why not the Noboto, and why make the blue DSG more expensive to build, and etc. Maybe it was just...not a very well thought out choice.

>>6332586
Red is more likely to be wanted so it gets the added hub

Why does yellow not get matching swings like red and blue? Why no Gray DSG to offer a neutral color besides the Kit parts?

All to make you spend more. Axis Noboto and Quallerran is the new thing to drive up spending

>>6332583
>>6332586

I think special builds are awesome and should be a part of almost every drop. That said, I think it should only really be one per drop. The buggy? Great. Unique, fits theme, will never see it again. That dog thing from a couple of drops ago? Cool. Some of the old buildman characters? Badass. But another batch of paired nobotos? Terrible. Giving 4 figures glyarmor? Fuck off. Stuff like that is excessive and obviously just trying to boost sales and money taken in. Meanwhile people are clamoring for old molds and vinyl and it's no where to be seen.

And Matt sold the blue guy specifically to appeal to people who say they wish things were sold separately.

>>6332203
Oops. I bought a red DSG, traveler, the commander, like 4 swings and 4 axis. I think I threw in a blaster too.
I figured I'd go in and get a bunch of the parts rather then come back to find the colors got sold out. That said I wish I could of gotten more in that neutral grey color.

>>6291249

>>Wake up
>>Basically everything is still in stock, even axis joints

Man I thought this drop would go faster for some reason. If I knew I had all this time I wouldn't have rushed through my order and would've done some things differently. The true Glyos experience.

>>6332997
Lol anyone who thinks things are fast sell outs these days are delusional. A guy last night was talking about the silent majority of glyos and how the fandom is bigger than ever which couldn't be any less true. Drops featured less items in smaller numbers and sit for days and weeks. One or two items selling out in the first day is not a success, it's a failure.

>>6333004
How do you what the production numbers are?

I'm always curious when I see posts like this, claiming " less items in smaller numbers". How do you know they're in smaller numbers?

>>6332997
I feel like maybe since this was a builder oriented set, there was more stock of the axis and hinge bits? I mean I bought 6 of each color...

>>6333012
Tbh I fucking hate when the axis joints sell out before figs... I pretty much never buy a fig without multiples of the corresponding axis/hinge joints.

>>6332600
>Why does yellow not get matching swings like red and blue? Why no Gray DSG to offer a neutral color besides the Kit parts?

This is the major stuff holding this drop back imo. It's all about red again.

>>6332979
That's fine.

>>6333004
>it's a failure
Is it really? It seems like it was pretty standard for pre-EMD era drops.

>>6333015
>Tbh I fucking hate when the axis joints sell out before figs.

Yeah it's like someone goes through and immediately buys 50 axis joint sets. Every time. Even if it's like some random color that doesn't match anything.

>>6333044
Maybe not 50, but there are people who buy tons of the build parts each time. Certain people will post build pics where you can see that they have stocked up on things.

>>6333061
>>6333044

I always want a bunch of axis joints then I remember they are asymmetrical. And by the time I add enough to outfit everything else I find myself ordering like $40 in just joints and it feels ridiculous.

Hey dumbass, yeah, glyos wasn't in its heyday until 2011, so yeah, I'd say drops going small and not having sell outs like it was before it was gaining steam is a failure.

>>6333207
Wow!! Matt never did answer how many.

>>6333109
Frankly $40 isn't much when you are buying enough for a big build, and it's not like the axis joints will ever /not/ be useful

It could be that there was an unstable bubble and Glyos is returning to a smaller, more stable customer base.

>>6333621
Glyos was growing steadily when the line was making good decisions. When there were:

>Good looking figures(detail lines)
>Lots of variety (Multiple molds, new molds introduced about every 6 months, vinyl)
>Hype machine of preview pics and drop lists

Glyos saw nearly continuous growth, so much that they had to get new servers to cover the web traffic. Make no mistake, things did not start to go south until we got:

>shittier figures (lack of paint)
>Less figures (retiring molds, less variety)
>less and less notice, fewer pics, no lists
>Community implodes, splits, etc

It's pretty clear. You can go by drop numbers, web visitors, etc. A unstable bubble doesn't last for several years and have direct correlations to decisions made with the line.

You're an idiot.

Yeh glyos is kill isn't just a meme, lots of people jumped ship and not nearly as many new bloods these days. The change was gradual but noticeable

>>6333780
Eat shit Brian

>>6333552
Honestly, not that excited. It's sorta neat to look at as a standalone toy, but I think it strays too far from the general Glyos aesthetic to be really useful for me in builds. The Kabuto Mushi Mk.II really fits in with Onell stuff imo, it has a lot of chunky rounded bubbly forms and the shape language is very compatible in my mind. They look good together.

Nemesis has too many thin fiddly bits, like those feet, and the details are starting to get a bit too fine. Parts like those hands and feet generally don't appeal to me because they're so specific--that claw is probably never gonna look like anything but a claw. Compare this to the mk.II hands, which look rather ambiguous when viewed from different angles. The feet are a little more contentious to me, but even those I've seen used in very creative ways that don't make me think "feet."

I'll still probably pick one up if they go to production, but I can already tell I won't be buying these anywhere near as much as I did the Mk.II.

>>6334248

Yeah I love the original Mushi but the second one doesn't look appealing at all. It's too gangly and creepy looking and doesn't look like it has any build potential.

The MK2 looks like a cool armored knight bug.

>>6334698
Just get Matt's blessing. I mean, a lot of people have just gone off on their own and done resin cast Glyos-compatible shit without permission, with no legal repercussions, but you should do it legit. Matt's a real nice dude, I'm sure he won't say no. Also you DEFINITELY wanna tell him if you plan to actually make production pieces instead of one-offs.

>>6335184
>>6334698

I feel bad for Matt, deep down he probably regrets giving the green light to shit like Galaxxor and Slice Knights but has a reputation for being a nice guy so the butthurt wouldn't be worth it.

>>6335306
Galaxxor is somewhat okay but very limited.

KotS is trash though, absolutely unacceptable and boring as fuck.

>>6335306
Galaxxor is awesome and anyone who doesn't like it hasn't bought one. Matt loves it and had sculpted various heads for it

>>6335306
I doubt it. I've talked to Matt and heard him talk at events a few times and he is a genuinely nice person. I'm sure he's just happy and excited to get more toys out there and make other peoples' toy dreams come true too. Which, really, is how I'd feel if I developed a joint system. I'd want to share the love. Besides, Matt has never been monopolistic with his joints or tried to keep people out. That's just not him.

>>6335372
Nothing about it appeals to me or makes me want to buy it. I'm not going spend $30 on something and just hope I like it in hand.

>>6335372
I can confirm that Galaxxor is fucking great... nothing like KotS shit. I have 005 and it's really quite fun, I like to throw and armodoc arm on him as a weapon

>>6335370

This guy gets it. Like many glyos(all?) related items, there's an almost indescribable appeal to it that can only be felt in hand. KotS is indeed shit, where as Galaxxor is easily the most underrated glyos toy just because it looks so lame that no one tries it out but it is in fact cool as fuck. I have no association with whatever it might be homaging, I just like the toy.

Hey, peeps. Literally just found out about this concept and I'm so in. The thing is, I dunno where to start for a basic/cheap figure to try out before diving in. Any recommendations?

Some of the ones I've seen are the Quallerran Xulturri Evolver set and the AV Robots from Nemo's Factory.

Thank you.

>>6337811
Pick up the Traveler Vekurrek to get a base example of the core Traveler figures. Also get a Deep Space Glyan to explore some build options, maybe a Hub Set or some Axis Joints to go with it.

>>6337811
I'd get the red selogo evolver set just because red is a more usable color, but the evolver sets do seem like a good jumping in point considering you get axis joints and a figure at a discounted price

>>6337835
>>6337837
Thanks, peeps. Will post whenever I get them.
It's crazy, tho. Really wish these were sold in stores and what not. Such a cool concept.

>>6337920
I'd say get the Traveller Vekurrek and then 2 red phase arms and 1 or 2 red axis joint sets. So much you can do with those parts.

>>6337937
Any examples of cool builds?

>>6337984
Traveler with one axis set and one phase arm.

This build is just a traveler with parts from two phase arms.

This build is using like 6 phase arms, but you can see ideas in it. I really like the using phase arm parts as bulked up shoulders...that's why I recommend a pair of them and they're only $2 anyhow for 5 parts that are all useful.

It looks like this is using some of the smaller parts from 3 axis joint sets, but you see the potential for bulking up travelers in a different way from the phase arms. 2 phase and 2 axis give you lots of parts to experiment with building out a traveler.

Said it before and I'll say it again, OG Silver is the best colorway of all time. It looks fucking amazing, especially with the black eyes with red pupils. On some Terminator shit.

This is at least tangentially Glyos-related, so....for some reason I cannot fathom, 1000Toys decided to collaborate with Toy Pizza, making Knights of the Slice figures on their Synthetic Humanoid bodies. I....I don't know what to say. I mean, it's actually gonna be a good toy now, but the design is still not great.

In brighter news though, RxH is also collabing with 1000Toys! Which look substantially cooler. I must own this shit no matter what the cost.

The real news here is that in the pics Onell is also collaborating, listed as a separate glyos line, so we will likely be seeing some kind of super badass pheyden and who knows what else.

Yeah all you need are a glyan, some joint and axis sets... And maybe a robo force figure

Mystery figure looks hideous. All kinds of WTF

What a waste of plastic and effort.

New thread cause Matt responded

wanted to personally address a couple of concerns that I've recently seen posted about the direction of things around here.

Some folks really long for the days of detail lines, Passcodes, comics, release lists and massive waves of vinyl. Those options are very limited now or are no longer feasible, but we have continued to push things in different directions, not just with our own line, but with our sister companies as well. It's easy to forget, but Glyos has been in a state of metamorphosis since its inception, with each year producing a different variation and focus. Gradual, yes, but still changing and growing at a steady pace.

Over the last decade, we've seen some intense shifts in our hobby, and just as much on the business side of things. Running an operation like this and being able to survive depends almost solely on your ability to change and evolve under intense pressure. Obstacles arise weekly, as any small business owner can attest to. Cash flow is always tight, especially if you want to keep vital. Decisions have to be made that you know won't please everybody, but you do what's best for the majority of the ship so the mission can continue.

It's never been my intention to shut people out or exclude opinions. I truly value every piece of advice, and though sometimes painful to hear, each and every criticism. We don't live in a vacuum and never have. Some viewpoints are extremely myopic, others are dead on, but at the end of the day, they are all personal perspectives on something we choose to do and are 100% responsible for. For better or for worse.
